I keep coming back to hunter call of the wild,

Its just such a nice looking game with no real skill curve once you know not to go running through the bush hoping to see a dear, it takes patience.

On a hot day, put the ac on a nice cup of coffee and go walking through the bushlands looking at points of interest and maybe shoot me a dear all without sweating like a pig like i do where i live.

That game is the reason im moving south, im so tired of trying tondo anything and dying from the heat.

I revisit Slay the Spire fairly frequently. Vampire Survivors when I have my Deck and a little bit of downtime.

Star Wars: The Old Republic. I don’t care about all the MMO stuff, but every time I watch or read something star-wars-related, I want to fire it up, get the one month subscription, and go on with some single-player story I need to finish. This happens twice a year more or less.

You can play a few maps of each level of Auralux 2 without buying it. I recently recommended it and got confirmation that it’s available on Android. Better than nothing.

Pathos NetHack (The OG Roguelike's very newbie friendly fork and UI)

Rogue Saga (A simple, bare bones Roguelike, nice for a casual run)

Orna (If old school Final Fantasy were Pokemon Go, and didn't have predatory monetization schemes) Heroes of Aethric is its non-GPS sibling.

Most of my free android games came from when Amazon did its Amazon Underground thing years ago, so you're kinda SoL on that, sorry.

Been playing a new farm in Stardew Valley after the 1.6 update. I hadn’t played much since back before 1.5, so there is a lot of new content! Also still grooving on Cyberpunk 2077, getting some of the main quest done.

Has to be either free or have a free way to get it

There are good games out there, but outside of a few exceptions you can’t get a good mobile game for free. If you have netflix, the netflix games selection has some good games, I’d especially recommend Into the Breach. If you have google play pass, there are a lot of good games there was well. As far as truly free good games go, Shattered Pixel Dungeon and Hoplite are the only ones that comes to mind.

If you’re willing to spend some money to get something worth your time, I’d recommend Slice & Dice (has a free demo), Reventure, Super Hexagon, VVVVV, Dicey Dungeons, Dead Cells (plays surprisingly well on mobile, play pass includes all DLC), Krumit’s Tale, King of Dragon’s Pass, and Star Traders Frontiers.

Vampire Survivors.

The android version is free with optional benefits for watching ads. If you buy any of the paid DLC (~$2 per DLC?) you are given a menu option to disable the “watch an ad for free shit?” prompts, but they’re hardly in the way if you don’t want to pay a cent. Playable offline, controller supported and is tbh a massive game.

Free and without bullshit is a tough ask, you’re not gonna find many games like that. I do have a few recommendations though:

  • Mindustry
  • Shattered Pixel Dungeon
  • Endless Sky
  • Pathos

You could also download Retroarch and some roms, it would require some setup but once done it works like a charm.

frank, do gaming w Need android game recommendations

These all sound like emulator-ideal criteria to me!

There’s a lot of non-free versions of that which are super reasonable and meet all of your other criteria nicely. Stardew Valley, Slay the Spire. Games that are full games for a one time low cost.

KoboldCoterie, do games w Dragons dogma 2 controversy over the DLC on steam ( and optimisation and denuvo )
@KoboldCoterie@pawb.social avatar

For better or for worse capcom is doing this shit in nearly every one of their games so i kinda expected this shit And if we stop shitting on them for doing it, we let it become normalized.

Denuvo is a cancer This pretty much sums up the topic.

Optimisation. It is poor apparently. Nothing new really as far as pc games go. It’s actually a lot worse than that. It’s been a while since I played something that had this level of problems. The fact that it’s CPU-based performance is actually the bigger issue because it doesn’t matter how beefy your graphics card is, you’re still dropping a ton of frames in that city specifically. I can run the game at 144 FPS until I go to that city, then it drops to 40, which is just outrageous. Gaming PC build logic has for a long time been to prioritize a great graphics card over a great processor (assuming you’re building with a budget and not a ‘money is no object’ type build), because that’s what matters for games, but suddenly with this one specific game, the processor is the bottleneck.

@KoboldCoterie@pawb.social avatar

To add to that, the DLC thing really pisses me off particularly because I bought the game last night, and there was no DLC. The DLC didn’t show up until a few hours later, and by that point it was too late to refund it. Kind of felt like a bait and switch, because normally I wouldn’t buy a game at launch if they did that shit.

Cadeillac,
@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I would still fight for a refund personally. Not trying to assume you have the time or energy to go after it, but I feel like this is extenuating circumstances

cottonmon,
@cottonmon@lemmy.world avatar

There was no mention of this in the reviews right? Feels like this was done deliberately so that it wouldn’t impact scores.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, that’s a years-old tactic at this point. It was big in the loot box era.

Nosavingthrow,

Man, this shit is already normalized. MTX isn’t going anywhere. Zero complaints since horse armor have made a difference. At this point, the best I’m hoping for is not being reminded that there is MTX while playing the game.

dogslayeggs, do games w [Gamers Nexus] Dragon's Dogma 2 is a Mess: GPU & CPU Benchmarks, Bottlenecks, & Crashes

One of the few times I’m happy to be limited to gaming on a console. The PS5 version hasn’t had any performance issues or crashes for me.

Pra,

Yeah pretty unfortunate there’s all this hubbub around the game with mtx and poor optimization… The game at its core I’m in love with.

dogslayeggs,

My only complaints are the inability to buy back something you sold to a vendor (not realistic) coupled with the limited carrying capacity. I didn’t have enough space to carry around a bunch of copper, silver, and iron ore at the same time, so I sold off the iron. Now I need the iron ore to upgrade a weapon but can’t find any and can’t buy it back. I know I can go online and find where nodes are or whatever, but if we’re going by the rule of “it’s not realistic to fight and run like normal if you are carrying around a really heavy pack” and “it’s not realistic to fast travel everywhere” then we should be able to buy back what we sold at an inflated price.

Pra,

Yeah I feel you there are a lot of features that I feel they could and the game still be “realistic” like they claim. I’m not sure if you know though, you can store items at inns and with the weight limit being what it is, it has forced me to be less of a loot goblin and not just picking everything up in a square mile. Buying back from vendors would be cool, but it’s also a pretty common mechanic to be missing from games too.

RageAgainstTheRich,

I dont know if you know, but at the inn you can put items in a storage that you can access at every inn and some other places. Just put everything except quest stuff and healing potions in it :)

NuXCOM_90Percent,

Honestly? Put most of your healing stuff there too. You are going to get a LOT more resources than you need in the early/mid game and are going to be glad it is there in the late/endgame.

Dragon’s Dogma is very much about the long journey to a vaguely known destination. Your personal inventory is very much a balance between traveling light enough to make good time and pick up items with having enough resources to survive whatever encounters you meet along the way.

dogslayeggs,

I didn’t know that… that completely changes my game.

echo64,

Putting (not realistic) after your first sentence, there was a little funny. That’s not something that happens in real life

dogslayeggs,

What do you mean it doesn’t happen in real life? Think about the times you’ve sold something to a company. Doesn’t happen very often, right? It is likely only selling a car to a dealer or maybe going into a pawn shop or baseball card store or used clothing store. Every one of those places will let you buy it back at an inflated price if they haven’t sold it yet.

Nosavingthrow,

You get scrap iron from Skeletons. Also, why not just put mats into storage? You

thedirtyknapkin,

You can buy back a lot of stuff, but only from the scrap merchant in the border town. The new black cat guy. Valuable things that you sell will end up in his shop sometimes, though I don’t know when or why yet.

any1th3r3,

Performance issues are definitely present in the console versions of the game, albeit not 4-5s stutters and whether you notice framerate drops or they bother you or not is a different thing entirely I suppose.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker. If anything, it's long. I though about doing replays with other character types, but its long campaign has me tired of going through it again any time soon and I still have a chapter to go. Whenever that starts. I'll probably finish it next weekend if i have time.

soulsource,
@soulsource@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I loved that game, and completed it twice, but the last chapter (or last 2 chapters - depending on which ending you get) is super annoying. The encounters are repetitive, and there are quite a lot of them. It’s almost the same group of enemies again, and again, and again. Once you have a working strategy those encounters aren’t even that challenging, but if you play turn-based, they take a lot of time…
